0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

The website represents the initiative 'Innovationskunst' under the umbrella of the European Metropolitan Region Nuremberg, focusing on promoting innovation and technology in the region. It serves as a platform to showcase technological leadership, research collaborations, and career opportunities, targeting students, professionals, and companies. The site is well-positioned as a regional innovation hub with strong partnerships from industry leaders and research institutions. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap and Matomo analytics, ensuring good performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility. The use of structured data and comprehensive metadata supports SEO and content discoverability. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, employs cookie consent mechanisms, and uses encrypted email links to protect contact information. While explicit security headers are not fully evident, no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and consent management. Overall, the website demonstrates a mature digital presence with strong business credibility and compliance posture. Strategic improvements in security headers and incident response transparency could further enhance trust and resilience.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Innovationskunst operates as a regional innovation initiative representing technology-driven companies and research entities in the Nuremberg metropolitan area. Its competitive advantage lies in its strong network of partners including Siemens, Fraunhofer Institutes, and local universities, fostering collaboration and visibility. The business model revolves around regional promotion, talent attraction, and innovation storytelling through events and digital content. Growth indicators include active event calendars, news updates, and engagement with students and professionals. The partnership ecosystem is diverse and reputable, enhancing the initiative's market position as a leading innovation cluster in Europe.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. Email addresses are protected via JavaScript encryption to reduce spam risks. Tracking technologies like Matomo and Facebook Pixel are used responsibly with user consent. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No signs of malware, phishing, or exposed credentials were detected. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly documented, which could be addressed to improve security maturity and stakeholder confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking technologies for compliance and security.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and Matomo for privacy-focused analytics. The infrastructure is hosted on agenturserver nameservers, indicating a professional hosting environment. Performance is moderate with optimized images and asynchronous script loading. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are present, supporting inclusive user experience. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and JSON-LD structured data.

Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
